Aside from using board notes Apps, scanning my pattern and viewing it via windows live photo gallery has been my habit ages ago. My husband doesn't like it of course. He says its not really good for my eyes. What he didn't know is that, it helps me in a way to distract my attention moreoften than not. Co'z whenever my computer is open, can't help but once in awhile check on google alert for the latest news in the world. And then I checked on facebook, bloglovin, blogspot, etc. Windows 8 user have more advantage because they can use multiple tabs. As u can see here in my sample, at the lower right corner. I can make it larger or smaller view. It helps a lot whenever I am busy with a small patterns. I can also count using my cursor. I can move the picture itself up and down, go to the next or the last pages or check on the whole picture. It works for me and I been doing this for years now.

Stitching with the help of my board notes
Even though I am aware that too much computer is not good for my eyes, can't help it really. Some times when hard copy is either too small or not so clear it helps a lot using boardnotes. Thanks to window 7 and 8 it is now possible. Although I was not really sure if my old window XP supports boardnotes too since it was already obsolete, I wasn't able to try before. With boardnotes I can easily makes my pattern larger than it is, but of course I had to scan it or download it first. Nevertheless I still have my hard copy on hand. You'll never know when the computer crashes.

It proves very useful co'z no matter how iterested I am in doing new things and new design, I always go back to the patterns which end product I have sewn and wear lots of time. I kept mine in a ring binder and label it accordingly.
